About Jess

Jess is the creative behind the lens and the keyboard. She is a registered nurse, who has explored the U.S. with her two huskies and husband. While she is originally from the east coast, she has felt a pull from the western states ever since she found her passion for the outdoors. She and her husband have phased out of the travel nursing / full time RV lifestyle and moved to the high deserts of Central Oregon. Jess loves to plan adventures and share her experiences through the images and videos captured along the way. She loves connecting with like minded individuals, challenging her family and friends with new experiences, and helping beginners find their passions and take the leap to chase them.

 

Where are we now?

We have been living in Central Oregon for under a year, but we are loving it. The outdoor access is incredible and there is always something to do in town. We feel lucky to have taken a chance on Bend, sight unseen.

Where have we been?

We have now lived in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and Montana.
